A cherry Corvette Stingray. A gorgeous girl. And a summer in glittery Las Vegas. What more does a guy need for the wildest, weirdest, funniest, freakiest time of his life? Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Annie Potts (Designing Women) make comedic and romantic sparks fly in a revved-up tale of car-brained Kenny (Hamill), trailing a Corvette that's mysteriously boosted after his high school shop class restores it to perfection. The trail leads to Fun Capital USA and a ditzy diversion (Potts) whose dream is to become - a hooker! This damsel-in-distress needs a white knight on a candy-apple, metal-flake, superior-mags, mercury-tubes steed - right, Kenny? Both are in for a summer they'll never forget.

Summary: A Showcase of Mark Hamill and the Vegas of Yesteryear
Comment: An engaging period piece about a high school grad from a broken home (gypsy-like, yet caring mother and altogether absent father) in a desperate search to find the stolen Vette he helped restore in his high school shop class. Did California public schools have funding for that kind of project back in 1978? Probably not, but this movie is a superb showcase of Mark Hamill's physical acting ability and agility, natural comedic talent, and is a great historical recording of the Vegas of yesteryear. Also has a great plot twist and some bad guys who are really, really BAD guys. And I'd like to think that even back in the 70s it was not a common thing for high school graduates to pursue prostitution as a career choice (even if college wasn't an option), so suspend your disbelief and enjoy Annie Potts' comedic portrayal of a sometimes-unstable yet adorable protagonist and Hamill's eventual, true ally.

Summary: One of my favorite coming of age movies
Comment: I remember this movie well. First saw it on HBO in 1979 and it is one of my favorite coming of age movies. The Custom Corvette used in the film has been bashed by Corvette fans since this movie came out and with good reason, it is utterly hideous. Annie Potts is simply beautiful in this movie and although this was supposed to be Mark Hamil's post Star Wars debut, Potts, then an unknown, steals the movie. Our generation ( I was born in 65) will love this movie. Younger people will be puzzled by it.
